AWB

I think Holder coming out & stating the AWB was coming again was just a way to spur the economy, as the way gunnys are spending money on ammo, & guns right now it might be what is keeping things afloat, as the bailout money is not getting the job done.

Of course Nancy being the type to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, says no AWB for now.

Of course I don't trust any of them, it's coming folks, it's coming, but instead of trying to get just one more case of overpriced 9mm, why not send that money to one of the pro gun groups, might well do you a lot more good in the long run.

Busy busy

A couple of papers ran an article on the Non Resident Utah License, of course the reporter left a few things out. But we have had an avalanche of calls for classes, so I have been on the phone a lot, & trying to schedule more classes due to the sudden demand.

In the past I've cancelled a lot of Utah classes due to lack of interest, but for the short run at least we will be a bit busy.

From the weekend:

Saturday, it was wet & it was cold, and we did a ccw class. The question I have is with all the new people getting into CCW., why do gun dealers insist on selling the newbies especially women "J " frame hammerless airweights? My one student was in pain after 2 shots, & would have not made it through the class with the gun she was sold. I put a couple of rounds through it & my thumb joint still felt the ache on Sunday.

Sunday morning hit the gun show, & I'm still suffering sticker shock! Lord the prices on even used guns was surprising. Of course ammo was still outrageous, & new hi cap pistols & black rifles were up there. I was a bit tempted on BHP with an alloy frame, & a 1917 Colt 45 ACP but passed them up. Maybe it's time to thin the herd with prices where they are. I have at least one Kimber,a couple of HP's & at least one AR just taking up space in the safe.

In the afternoon another Instructor brought his class over for the required rangetime, & although dry it was colder than Saturday, but all of them shoot extremely well.

I've noticed a drop in imported ammo since the UN had their week long meeting in July of 2006, about all I see at gun shows is the steel case Russian stuff.I've seen very little in 9mm, or .223 I use to buy quite a bit of South African, German, Spanish, you know the good old days when you could buy a case of 9mm for $90 So where there is smoke there is perhaps fire?

Somehow it just does not have the same ringBlackwater Worldwide, a private security company whose work in Iraq was plagued by trouble, said yesterday that it is changing its name to Xe as it shifts its business focus.

Lady D sent me a message that she was getting close last night, so I decided to make a couple of runs up & down the driveway so she would have some wheel tracks to follow to get up to the house. But the wind was blowing pretty good, & I couldn't tell if it was snowing or just blowing it sideways.

I then decided to walk the mile & half out to the state route & intercept her & drive her in. After the wreck in 07 driving in the white stuff really stresses her out. Part of the road was like a series of speed bumps, by the time we got to the house the driveway had drifted back over & one could not see that a car had been up & down it 20 minutes before.

We made it in, abit some of the way slightly sideways, but we made it.

The road plow went by a few minutes ago, now it's a matter of trying to clear the 900 feet of driveway to get to the road, todays a day I really wish I would have remembered to order the snow blower attachment for the riding mower.
